Breaking into their jail cell to kill them is revenge. Killing them in the process of rescuing a little girl is at worst ruthlessly pragmatic. |

So yeah, while it's probably not revenge, it was still dispensation of capital punishment.

No, I'll stand by my words: ruthlessly pragmatic. If he'd been with ten adult, experienced leg breakers, then yeah, maybe he could have taken it easy. But considering the circumstances, if he was going in then he couldn't afford to hold back.

1. You are threated being killed -> you kill people to stay alive -> you are facing the reality of life, mature and become someone like the 16yrs old Eren (is he 16?) 2. (something happened in your past) -> you go on a "rescue operation" instead of waiting, cold-heartedly stab someone and then go berserk mode -> WTF just happened? Thats why I say my scenario (both of them captured) would have clarified a lot more things. |

As I stated before I don't think what he did was wrong, but I wanna know why he did it. Because in my opinion he is way too young to have such a mature sense of "justice". If he was lets say 16 things would be different (still young but different). |

Its not so much that a kid killed I have a issue with its the intelligence. They really need to further go on his history for that to be realistic and not a asspull. I am supposed to believe some one who always looses in fights can kill 2 men and premeditate how to trick and kill them. Sorry but no I mean yes there are kids in other country's serving in the military who pull similar tricks but those tricks where thought to them by a adult.

Even if you kill someone before he can kill someone else that's not technically self-defense. Also police officers have generally more rights than the other citizens about using weapons against criminals. For example a police officer can shoot to a criminal who is escaping after being warned, but a normal citizen cannot, and can be even prosecuted if he does that. (that may vary from country to country but generally is like that).

Getting into a spur of the moment fight, and planning to kill some guys you don't even consider people are obviously going to be handled entirely differently.
Eren has no intention of killing the bullies, just brawling with them, but with the slave-traders he went in with the intention of killing those guys. Eren may have been shockingly competent at this sort of thing at that age, but the intelligence required to do what he did isn't anywhere near as high as people make it seem, especially if hunting is common in their culture. Not to mention Eren aspired to be part of the Recon Unit from a very early age.

Actually, I think that Eren is... much closer to a Kiritsugu Emiya than a Shounen Protagonist. I am not saying that he is similar, just that in terms of characterization, we need to compare him to Seinen protagonist, not Shounen protagonist.
This is a masterful episode, where the emotions and characters really take a live of their own. It is an intense episode, and brilliantly executed. Even if, it's subject matter raises hackles. Really, Eren's victory over three adults relied upon the element of surprise, and decisiveness. Once he lost it, you could see him thrown on the ropes.

@Novalysis i agree with your points , In this setting there different set norm compared to our current society Eren is more seinen type character than your shounen character ....
is it possible that Eren over head the conversation of the two slave trader ? What they did [ Killed Mikasa"s parents] planning to do to Her? If so there some basis on rage specially what he did on 2nd slave trader.. and to point it out its mostly based Mikasa pov |

What I like about this series is that rage. The way they portray the rage of the character is astonishing. Starting with Eren, a small boy with the yellow hair, his hatred for himself being a helpless in countless situation and saved by his friends every time.
Then the back story of Mikasa. A girl frustrated and helpless and hanging on to the straw of hope which is Eren who came knocking on the door of her fate. The helplessness and frustration turned into full blown anger to avenge the death of her parents. And Eren whose anger is like he's been possessed by a devil. And I don't think Eren would die yet. He's a die-hard just like the Kyojins he hates. If you chop out the legs, he will grow a new one. He is infectious. He infected Mikasa to kill the adult.
